Gold has smashed another record — breaking previous price ceilings and confirming its role as the ultimate safe‑haven and wealth‑preservation asset in uncertain times.
📌 Current Price Reality
• Globally, gold has recently traded around $4,300–$4,500 per ounce, marking fresh ATH levels and a truly historic run.
• Local markets like Pakistan have also seen 24‑carat gold hitting record highs per tola, reflecting global momentum in local currency terms too.
🔥 2025 Performance Recap
Gold delivered an exceptional year in 2025 — with gains exceeding 60–70% on the year in many benchmarks. This was one of the best performances in decades.
📈 Why Is Gold Rallying So Strongly?
1) Global Uncertainty & Geopolitics
Geopolitical tensions, shifting trade policies, and ongoing economic instability are driving investors to “safe‑money” assets like gold.
2) Central Bank Buying
Central banks, especially in emerging markets, are accumulating gold to diversify reserves — adding a structural, long‑term demand driver.

3) Soft Monetary Policy & Rate Expectations
Talk of interest rate cuts (e.g., by the U.S. Federal Reserve) reduces the opportunity cost of holding gold and supports higher prices.
4) Weak U.S. Dollar Dynamics
A softer dollar often pushes gold prices up since gold becomes cheaper for holders of other currencies.
5) Investor Positioning & ETFs
Gold ETFs saw heavy inflows in 2025 — up to 72% returns — as traders and institutions bought gold exposure aggressively.

💠 Higher Bullish Scenarios:
Some models even stretch to $6,000+ per ounce in 2026 under certain conditions.
💠 Other Views:
